Charmed Season 9 picks up where the TV show left off!
With the source of all evil defeated, The Charmed Ones, three witches destined
to be the most powerful force for good our world has ever known, have embraced
a new life. One of new family, friends, and a future without the constant
battle between good and evil... or so they think.

My Review

First, I have to say that I loved the TV show for
Charmed. I watched it religiously and I even own all the DVDs for the seasons
of Charmed. While I enjoyed all of the girls, I loved Piper, because with her
being the middle child I felt close and was able to relate to Piper's
situations minus all the magic.

Things that I
liked: I absolutely loved that they created this in the first place. After
the Season finale of the Charmed TV show, I always felt like there should have
been more. I wanted to see if they truly retired and allowed the children to
take over. But this graphic novel shows what happened right after all the
Halliwell sisters found love and had their children. I love that we get to see
whether or not the children gained the powers early on or not. I love that we
get to see evil still trying to plot against the Charmed Ones and the children
are coming into their powers left and right. I love that they tell you (as well
as show you) what the children's powers are. I love that they showed you the
Book of Shadows and goes through a brief retelling of what happened to the
Charmed Ones in the first eight years of them finding out their heritage and
coming into their powers. I absolutely loved that in the beginning, because it
allows you to see what some of the pages to the Book of Shadows looked like.

Things that I
didn't like: I have no complaints about this one. Though I do wish they
would turn these graphics into a TV show so that we can relive the Charmed ones
but with the future generations involved.

Overall: I
thoroughly enjoyed reading this, and look forward to reading the others to
follow. I would rate this a 5 out of 5 stars. Also I would highly recommend
these graphic novels to Charmed fans and anyone who watched the show.

You've read the book. You've seen the movie. Now submerge
yourself in the thrilling, stunning, and action-packed graphic novel.

Mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem
to be walking out of the pages of twelve-year-old Percy Jackson's textbooks and
into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus's master lightning
bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Now, he and his friends
have just ten days to find and return Zeus's stolen property and bring peace to
a warring Mount Olympus.

Series creator Rick Riordan joins forces with some of the
biggest names in the comic book industry to tell the story of a boy who must
unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

My Review

Cover: I did enjoy the cover for this graphic novel. The
vibrant colors really represent what was within the pages to come.

Things that I liked: I really enjoyed reading this, I
believe I read it in one sitting. I liked how it was really close to what the
book was like, instead of being closer to the movie. This graphic novel seemed
to give more details to certain aspects to the story as a whole. We got to see
characters, places, and so much more that may not have been best imagined in
the movie or even seen clearly in the books. I really enjoyed reading this
graphic novel.

Things that I didn't like: As this was cone well with the
scenes, the vibrant colors, and dialogue I don't have anything bad to say about
it.

Overall: I would recommend this book to anyone who read
and enjoyed the Percy Jackson series. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars.

When
a giant nor'easter dumps a blanket of snow on the village of Dunwich, Massachusetts,
Robert Arthur and his friends find themselves marooned inside Lovecraft Middle
School. The kids have no choice but to spend the night - while snacking on
cafeteria food, sleeping on classroom floors, and facing off against a
mysterious substitute teacher who may have a sinister secret. The latest
adventure in the Lovecraft Middle School series features more adventures, more
outrageous monsters, and another terrifying lenticular cover!

My Review

Cover:
I absolutely love the book covers for this series. They are just so creepy but
fun at the same time.

Things
that I liked: I really enjoyed reading this book. This is the fourth book in
the series, and it picks up right where book three, Teacher's Pest, left off. I
love that you are just kind of thrown right into the action within the first
couple of chapters and adventure continues. I loved reading about the
characters and the choices that they made throughout this book. I never
expected some of the twists and turns that were throughout the story. I did
like the pictures for this one. The old ones look like baby abominable snowmen
waiting to grow up..lol.

Things
that I didn't like: I was a little confused about the ending. I don't know if
it is going to continue into a fifth book, or if this is the end of the series.
I'm curious to know whether or not this is the end of not.

Overall:
I really enjoyed reading this book, and I would recommend the series to anyone
looking for adventure and creepy creatures lurking about throughout the
novel(s). I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

Today's blog post is going to be a Book Haul (as noted in the title). For the month of September I got 33 books. All mostly Young Adult, with one or two adult novels and graphic novels mixed in. Let's get sharing shall we? I will break them up into categories.
